This hilarious video which for some reason fell under the radar until now, is more relevant than ever. Dick Cheney vs China.

Watch many of the UAE VIPs smiling when Dick Cheney is schooled by the former Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing. The Video is from UAE in 2019 but it is already becoming a classic. (There is a full video also on YouTube, but this one shows the key clash) 😂

Long term Ukraine financing plan as outline by Reuters, "Ukraine’s $61 bln lifeline is not enough."

1. $61B is enough to get Ukraine to Nov. 2024 election. "the latest U.S. package...should see Kyiv through to about the end of next year."
2. Ukraine needs a medium-term funding plan, "Ukraine could run out of weapons again in late 2025."
3. Multi-year funding plan benefits: Insurance against US political swings, boost Ukraine morale, give MIC confidence, change Putin's calculations, and freeze conflict like N/S Korea.
4. Ukraine will need at least 88B Euros every year.
5. Capitalising interest payments of $320B with a bond backed by future interest rates and paying the proceeds to Ukraine "might raise 30 to 40B Euros...it will not be a game changer because it will fund Ukraine for less than half a year."

LOCALS POLL: What will be the outcome of Blinken's ultimatum to China?

What will be the outcome of Blinken's ultimatum to China?

Alastair Crooke on "Judging Freedom". He paints a very gloomy picture of the situation of the West. The basic problem in both Europe and the US is that financialization and the movement of productive jobs to China and other Asiatic countries has deindustrialized the Western economy. Therefore our economies have become non-competitive with countries whose economies grow by producing real wealth. Reindustrialization can only happen when Western countries free themselves from this financial oligarchy that produces nothing and loots the real economy. Alastair thinks that the US has a better chance of being able to reindustrialize than Europe. He bemoans the stupidity of the leaders of Europe like Macron and their fantastic schemes of reindustrializing by having a war economy to fight Russia. We can only hope that the people of Europe and the US will not put up with these leaders much longer.
